Throughout Bai Chongxi's life, many people may think that he is very sad, but in fact, this is not the case, Bai Chongxi is not sad, this is related to the perspective of looking at the problem. During the war years, Bai Chongxi had gains and losses, and he had always been Li Zongren's confidant, especially by Li Zongren, such a person, in my opinion, in the early years or in his later years is not sad.
The saddest thing to say is perhaps the loss of his own Gui army. With Li Zongren as the commander of the Fifth Theater, the leader of the Gui army was vacant, and because of the relationship between Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, Li Zongren handed over the Gui army to Bai Chongxi, after all, it was a partner, Li Zongren was still very relieved.
When he got the Gui army, it was once the most shining moment in Bai Chongxi's life, and the Gui army also made no small contribution in the War of Resistance under his leadership.
At the same time as making contributions, the Gui army also suffered heavy losses, so the later Bai Chongxi transferred the Gui army away from the main battlefield and began to play guerrilla warfare with the Japanese, until finally lost his Gui army in the civil war and ran to Taiwan.
After Bai Chongxi arrived in Taiwan, many of the rumors about his encounter were actually false, and many people mistakenly believed that Bai Chongxi's life in Taiwan was very unsatisfactory and his old age was very miserable.
So what was Bai Chongxi's later years like?
Before talking about What happened to Bai Chongxi in his later years, let's first look at the rumors about Bai Chongxi at that time; after coming to Taiwan, there were rumors that Bai Chongxi was targeted by Chiang Kai-shek in various ways, and that Bai Chongxi in his later years was ostracized by Chiang Kai-shek, and even assassinated by Chiang Kai-shek's people, and Chiang Kai-shek's ultimate goal was to put him to death.
If Bai Chongxi really had such an encounter, his later years did make people feel very sad, but nine times out of ten these rumors were false. In his later years, although Bai Chongxi's life was not very comfortable, he was not much excluded by Chiang Kai-shek in Taiwan.
You must know that after Chiang Kai-shek ran to Taiwan with those Kuomintang generals, his way of treating them was very "special", which was both cold and gave people a gentle feeling, not only Bai Chongxi was treated this way by Chiang Kai-shek, but many Kuomintang generals felt this way. However, for this kind of treatment of Chiang Kai-shek, some people are naturally very sensitive, and even some people can't hold their breath, and there are also people who are eventually shot.
Bai Chongxi was not shot by Chiang Kai-shek in the end, and like most people, his later years were relatively uneventful, and he was not deliberately harassed by Chiang Kai-shek, let alone assassinated by Chiang Kai-shek.
However, it is true that Bai Chongxi in his later years was monitored by people appointed by Chiang Kai-shek, but this kind of surveillance is not the kind of surveillance without freedom, Chiang Kai-shek left them plenty of free space, although they have no actual power, but in terms of reputation they are still relatively "loud".
There is actually a lot of controversy about how Bai Chongxi died in his later years, and the most serious thing that is now spread is that Bai Chongxi was killed by Chiang Kai-shek in his later years, and was killed by a nurse in the hospital with "special" means. However, in an interview with Bai Chongxi's son, he said that Bai Chongxi died of a sudden heart attack. In fact, more credible comes from the interview with Bai Chongxi's son, after all, the Jiang family had no real power in Taiwan at that time.
